PRAYERS
FOR PEACEMAKERS, Aug. 8, 2012
Pray with CPT Al-Khalil (Hebron) that its recent media
package, combined with advocacy, would strengthen the efforts of Palestinian
partners in nonviolent resistance to the Israeli occupation. Pray for leaders
with vision for everyone in the region leading dignified, prosperous lives.

How quickly corporations and governments move to destroy Indigenous sacred spaces, while in contrast, Christian sites are respected and preserved.
Musbah chooses to maintain his shop by the checkpoint and offer his space as a refuge to children when the Israeli occupation soldiers attack, even when it puts him and his family in danger.
